Assembly Constraint Automatic 0 Offset

[atticus.rush]

Hello Autodesk Friends,

I've been using Inventor 2019 for a few years now. Up until about a month ago, when I constrained two faces together (like the example in the picture), the faces would automatically snap together meaning the "offset" between them would be set to zero.

Now, the offset is set based on the distance between the faces at the time the constraint was made. See the example: I didn't type "2.058" in the offset box, it automatically appeared there. 

99% of the time I want a zero offset, so now, I am having to manually type "0" in the offset box every time I make a constraint.

I am hoping there is a setting somewhere that can address this. 

Peace, Love and Autodesk for life.

Good solution, but it creates the same issue in the opposite way. Turning off this setting indeed allows for zero offset default, but then you have to select the correct orientation in many instances. Is it possible to turn the prediction on and off for the two independently (i.e. offset prediction off but orientation prediction on)?
